Can household pets get or spread Ebola?

Right now, a King Charles Spaniel named Bentley is in quarantine in the Dallas area, being observed for any sign of the Ebola virus.

Bentley belongs to nurse Nina Pham and is the first dog in the U.S. to be exposed to the disease.

Doctor's aren't even sure if dogs can pass the disease to humans, but they are taking no chances.

Doctor Amy Vogt is the President of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners.

She talked with Eyewitness Reporter Jeff Ehling about how Ebola affects pets.
